St Paddy's was supposed to be when I was born. I was 11 days late (my poor mum!) and have been late for everything else ever since.
Happy Oirish day.

Not entirely safe for work, contains rude Irish language and nasty pictures.
Not really out of the ordinary for the Irish, so to say
Happy St Pats all!

Stuck in work while everybody else is off. Oh well. Another excuse for a p*ss-up, eh?

I saw some people in green plastic hats decorated with shamrocks at about 11am...
And they sounded about as Irish as Sean Connery does in The Untouchables

No I wasn't, though I did laugh out loud when I saw some bald (probably shaved) guy waiting for a tram with the whole of his head and face painted as the Irish flagBadlander wrote:Surprised ?Obviousman wrote:I went to a Scottish pub in town before noon, and they were having St. Patricks Day already

Personally I have never understood why the English celebrate St Patrick's day more than their own saints day - anyone else?

It's the fear of a larger, more successful, more powerful nation to be too triumphalist about it. It grates less on most people when a smaller nation (when I say "small" I mean in terms of international clout as well) goes all patriotic. Essentially, I think the English feel they have a lot less to prove.Brideoffrankenstein wrote:Personally I have never understood why the English celebrate St Patrick's day more than their own saints day - anyone else?
And they're reluctant to be associated with the kind of people who have "hijacked" the flag - i.e. BNP and similar charmers.
But all this is a side issue. What it really comes down to is Guinesss, and lots of it .

At festivals abroad people take flags of their own country's to put up next to their tents so I thought we could do that at Wacken in August, but my mate goes "Ooh noo people might trample on our tents!"
This annoys me somewhat
Oh well!
Would you put up a "Union Jack" or a "St George" flag Libby?.Brideoffrankenstein wrote:That's pretty much what I was thinking.....boudicca wrote:It's the fear of a larger, more successful, more powerful nation to be too triumphalist about it.

Ah, when we lived in England, I always found that English friends thought the "Union Jack" was now a "Right Wing" flag and not a British flag any longer, I always saw the "Union Jack" as a Prodie bigots thing, either way, arse holes seem to have hi-jacked the Union JackBrideoffrankenstein wrote:St Georgescotty wrote:Would you put up a "Union Jack" or a "St George" flag Libby?.
